New Ideas For This Assignment

Post any ideas you have in mind which can be used to improve our project. Thanks.

  1. Help function - If the user wants to know how the game is played, one of the symbols should be assigned game instructions, and when detected by the camera, a list of instructions should be visible.

  2. Video - each time a user gets a correct answer, a pop-up screen with a brief video of that hardware component will be displayed on the screen. this facility will make the game more exciting for the users and educative at the same time. during the coding for this to happen, we found lots of difficulties such as "coordinatesoutofbounds" and a few other, until we arranged the code in order to work.

  3. Quiz Logic
    In order for the application to be able to decide whether the pair of symbols are correct, the application should be able to compare the symbols and output the result.
    The user must enter three fiducials under the camera:
    •Physical hardware device
    •Description of hardware
    •Submit symbol, which indicates that the user has inputted the two symbols.

    To do so the following logic should be programmed:
    •Two variables of type String have to be declared.
    •The ID’s of the two fiducials detected should be stored in the two string variables.
    •The ID’s stored in each variable are compred.
    •If the two ID’s match then then the user would have entered the correct hardware device and description.
    •If the two ID’s do not match then the user would have entered the incorrect description of the hardware device.
    •The user is notified if the answer is correct or not.

  6. Exit Button Function

    Once users launch the game they need to be able to use exit when they want and not be stuck in the game.

    A button was needed that when the user clicks on it, the game exits.

    The coding sequence is as follows:
    •Making use of already declared Variables
    •Creating a box for the text to be placed in
    •In this box the text Exit was written
    •An if Statement was then used so that when a user clicks on the box the system is exited

  7. working on the code with Luigi, we discovered that the processing is case sensitive. Instead of having three fiducials, One option would be that a submit fiducial is attached to a description so as the user would not have to put three objects under the camera. This should also provide the user more space to work with.

  8. Chris I think we should work on your idea. How about we attach the description and the two fiducials (The submit fiducial and the fiducial assigned to the description) to a piece of cardboard which would make it more rigid. Doing so the user would only need to put in the physical hardware device and the piece of cardboard which would have the submit fiducial too.

  9. We should also keep in mind that the size of the cardboard pieces will be able to fit in the leather pocket attached to the cupboard which will hold all the descriptions for the user.
